    Judging by the top picture, Mashable’s photoshopper doesn’t know much about Android.

    QR code… should just point to the app in the market. I suppose they want to be able to keep track of how many people used the code I guess?

    Or the appbrain link: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.intridea.mashable
    Much easier to install with the one-click fast web installer.

    Why do Mashable need native apps when they just need a web app that works on all devices? What funcionality do you use in the apps that you can’t have in a web app? Just wondering…

    People prefer different methods of receiving their content. Our website is already mobile optimized, but the app allows us to add additional features such as deeper category navigation and more social sharing options.

    We appreciate the input though and will continue to make our apps unique an useful experiences.

    “but the app allows us to add additional features such as deeper category navigation and more social sharing options.”

    Then your mobile site is clearly not optimized enough.

    Unfortunately, it crashes on load with an error message on HTC Desire, Android 2.1 : crash of com.intridea.mashable process. Tests with wifi and 3G+ connections.

    Pretty sure a web page can’t integrate with installed application, opening them so you can share content via an application of your choice, such as a twitter app, mashable app can.

    Jonah, Thanks for the feedback, I am the photoshopper of the above graphic and have owned an Android device ever since the first Android G1 came out. Sorry you didn’t like the photoshop work.
